I didn't expose anything, I have said I am a commercial fisherman before.
Doug it's about the states (NY and NJ) working together to push back... You must not read what I write, because then you would know when I talk it's always trying to get NJ fishermen to work with NY fishermen.
If I took a commercial stance believe me, I wouldn't care about you fishermen, but that's not what I am about. You should go reread what I wrote in the past, I always said to work together.

The $500 license is for commercial fishing only. You can't fish from a charter boat or party boat legally with that license. Also when your fishing with this license your supposed to sell your fish not keep it. I would say a very good percentage of the fisherman on this board fish from either party boats or charter boats so this is a moot point on this board because the main reason everybody here Fish's here keeps their catch.
My post started with how the Mass regs will effect us all. Why were the regs changed on the Sea Bass? Was it because Mass overfished it's quota last year? What makes you think that this years regs are not going to hurt us big time? Let's see how this plays out but I don't feel it will be in the best interest of the fisherman.
You said in past posts that NY & NJ should work together your right but you know that's not going to happen. By the way I never got to read that it must be on another post. It's hard enough to try to get anything passed you want these states to work together?
Your answer to my original post was your a commercial fisherman? You can keep 14" fish legally do you honestly think that anybody here that fish's from party boats or charter wants to hear that? Yes everybody from here does feel NY has been getting the shaft. So enjoy Your NY pie I just feel it's going to cost us in the end big time in the end.
